Kernel list truncates Python version number

[fonnesbeck]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.90.0
• Jupyter Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2024.5.0
• Python Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2024.8.0
• OS (Windows | Mac | Linux distro) and version: Fedora 40
• Python and/or Anaconda version: Various
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): conda
• Jupyter server running: Remote

Expected behaviour

When selecting a kernel for use with the Jupyter extension, the proper Python version numbers should be displayed.

Actual behaviour

The version numbers are truncated. Instead of "Python 3.11" or "Python 3.12" (the only versions I have installed) it shows just "Python 3.1" and this results in a warning about supported versions when I try and use them.

I am encountering the same issue with a new install of VS Code with the Jupyter extension. Sometimes the version is reported as 3.1, 3.1.-1, or 3.1.undefined as well, seemingly as random. The version numbers change between each time I re-open VS Code.
